am prepared to state, that it is the fixed determination of the Government to carry into effect, without regard either to the opposition on the one hand, or the stimulating zeal on the other ; without being driven out of its course by the enthusiasm of the people here, or the apprehensions of colonists......it is the determination of the Government to carry the Resolutions agreed to by Parliament into full effect. The Orders in Council, drawn up consistently with those Re solutions, contain the expression of our avowed object ; and if those Orders cannot, from circumstances, be immediately adopted, we shall steadily keep the object before us. The Orders in Council contain the expression of the general system of Go vernment. And Government xvith the assistance of Parliament, will find the means and the power, sooner or later, of carrying that system into execution..--(Hear, hear !) Mr. W. sxnry briefly replied. Mr. W. HORTON explain&l ; and then the motion w . as nega tived without a division. • CRUELTY TO DOGS. Mr. R. MARTIN moved for leave to bring in a Bill " To Pre vent the Cruel and Improper Treatment ofDogs." Sir M. W. RIDLEY opposed the motion. Mr. HUME expressed a hope that the Hon. Member would in clude cats in his Bill.—(A laugh.),-It was well known that cats 'were worried by dogs, and were therefore entitled to protection. .(A laugh. )—Speaking seriously, he thought it ridiculous to legis late for the protection of the dog, while the fox and hare were made the objects of pursuit and destruction. Mr. R. MARTIN said, that the Hon. Member for Montrose .had promised to support his motion.—(A laugh.) Mr. IIUIkIE declared that he had not, to the best of his know " ledge, ever made any such promise. Mr. R. MARTIN said the Hon. Member must have made the 'promise without his k - nOwledge.—(Order, order!) Mr. Secretary PEEL felt called upon to oppose the motion of his Honourable Friend ; a motion which, as it appeared to had a. tendency to &feat the objects which it pretended to advance. It was clear that this mode of proceetliug was flotilla less th an th e we b of Penelope—they would be undoing on the one hand what they did on the other. He should certainly vote against the motion. Several other Members expressed their opinions on the question, and after repeated calls of " Withdraw," Mr. R. MARTIN, seeing the sense of the House against him, withdrew his motion. IRISH ELECTION LAWS. • Dlr. 11 ARTIN begged leave to withdraw the Irish Election `saws' Amendment Bill. The Bill was •then ordered to be read a second time this day three months.

Mr. HORNE, at the sitting of the Court, mentioned the petition in this matter on behalf of Lady Turner, which, he s a id, was o f t h e utmost consequence to be disposed of, Lady Turner being in absolute want. His LORDSHIP was quite at a loss to know how to act, because the affidavits he had been furnished with stated that Lady Turner bad already had half of Sir Grer's income. 11. r. oitNE was convinced there was a mistake 3 °lllowbere ; he thought the Court could not have een the last filed affidavits. Mr. P HILLIMORE corroborated his Lordship's view of the affidavits. His LORDSHIP repeated, that such was the infer inati6n ,g,iven by the affidavits he had seen. f floilNE would make a point of ma ki ng some u rther inquiries of his client. WELLESLEY V.

His LORDSHIP said he had marked out the pas ',ges in the papers b e fore him in this cas e requ iring B:Planation, which h e wou ld o rder to be co p ie d an d rto both sides, either to-day or to -morrow. bus' Yesterday the Bishop of DURHAM elect, transacted I,,ness with M r . S ecretary PEEL, at his Office in " We received this morning the Constitutionnel of Wednesday, by express. By Letters from Frankfort dated April the 14th, it is stated that the negocia tions at St. Petersburgh were broken off, and that the Russian Army had crossed the Pruth. If these reports be true, it is singular that the .toile of yes terday is silent on the subject, The following are the letters alluded to : ( From the Constitutionnel of Wednesday.) PARIS, APRIL 18.—They write us from Frank fort, of the 14th of April—" There has been to-day a great perplexity and bustle on 'Change ; the Austrian Aletalliques have fallen 1 per cent., and the other Public runds in proportion ; and what is more asto_ nishing is, that for some time past all kinds of paper have fallen. It is reported that the causes for the above decline are attributed in various ways. Some say that it is owing to the news from Russia, which state that the army •of General 'flasaniefF has passed the Pruth ; while others state it is only the result of the fall of Reines at Paris : within the last month, even M. Rothschild has sold considerably. They speak here of a Congress which is to assemble at Cracovie." Another Letter from Trankfort, of the same date, and on the authenticity of which we can rely, contains the following :---" All is broken off at St. Petersburgh, still the consequences of this rupture may not be looked on as definitive, as the immense interests of the Cabinets, and the Oligarchies who are compromised, causes us to believe, that at a distant period the nego ciations will be renewed again. Still the chance is un certain, by the manner which decided the Duke of Wellington's departure. On the departure of the • Courier they were in the greatest anxiety in that ca pital on the issue of the siege of Missolonghi, the re sult of which would be a thunder blow to the army and the nation, as the irritation increases every mo ment. The Prince of Orange, returning from St. Petersburgh, will pass here to-day or to-morrow." The Etoile of yesterday reached us this morning by express, but we have no room for extracts*—it in fact contains nothing of interest. The judgment of the Tribunal in the action brought against the Etoile by the heirs of M. de la CHALOTAIS has been pro nounced in favour of the Etoile, the question having been dismissed with costs.

We received German Papers this morning, which bring down accounts from St. Petersburgh to 31st of March. It was reported that a plan was in contempla tion to employ the military in time of peace, when not engaged in their professional duties, on works of public utility, but we question the feasibility of the plan, however desirable it may be. It appears that on the 9th instant the first stone of a new edifice had been laid at Munich, to be dedi cated to the reception of works of art, similar to our Museum. It will be seen by .our Parliamentary Report, that in answer to a .question put by Earl GROSVENOR, Lord LIVERPOOL stated, last night, that Missolonghi had not fallen at the date of a letter which was pub lished by a Morning Paper two days ago, and which gave very particular details of the capture of that place, as coming from an English Officer who had shared in its dangers. His Lordship, in answer to another ques tion, whether the cause of Greece was or was not des perate, stated that he could not be expected to give a reply concerning two States with which this country remained neutral, adding, that the policy of his MA JESTY'S Government, whether right or wrong, had been that of strict neutrality. We must refer" to .the Report of the Debates them selves for the other interesting subjects, which last night occupied the attention of both Houses of Par lament. It has been confidently stated, that' the self-styled " Christian Evidence Society" are about to hire for their meetings, at .a very considerable sum, a place in the City, formerly a chapel belonging, we believe, to that respectable dissenting minister, Dr. COLLYERe-- Within these walls,' which hitherto have 'been at least .consecrated to the conscientious exercise of religious duties, the very.name and substance of all religion, is to be blasphemed and 'outrage& We know not whe ther entirley. to approve, theline of condua whiCh has hitherto been observed by those in authority, with respect to this association, viz.. treating it as, too low and contemptible, to be worth notice or sup 7 pression ; yet we are ranch inclined to agree in the general sentiment. That it can .do no harm, except among. the most ignorant and debased portion of the community we think evident, and. we believe that blas phemous enormities seldom, if ever, recommend them selVes to any but those whose minds are previously de graded to the lowest state of prostration by the con tamination of vice. and .debauchery. We are further persuaded, that,the propir remedy for all such obser vations will be found in the increasing , diffusion of sound luipwledge' and enlightened education. It appears by an account printed by ord e r of th e House of Commons, " o f the quantity of Tea " annually imported into, exported from, and re " tained in, this country for home consumption," that the annual average consumption of this neces sary article, from 1807 to 1816, was 20,250,7541b5.; and from 1817 to 1826, 22,750,0631b5. The great increase in the home consumption has taken place in the last four years, and . the largest quantity,consumed in any one year appears to have been in the year ending the sth January last, viz. .24,150,372 lbs. It appears also by an another account, which.bas been printed, that the home consumption of tobaCco in the last, was greater than in any preced ing year since 1813,havingamountA to 14,510,551 lbs. A Morning Paper, which has lately indulged in strictures on the Naval Promotions published in the return called for by. Mr. HumeOitis favoured its readers again, yesterday and to-day, with some long articles on the `same subject. After endeavouring to amuse them with the old story of VAN 'TR OittP'S Birch Broom at the mast head, symbolical of hiS intention to, sweep the ,seas of British ships, the Wei r, witnk propbeite-wisdont , great as that -displayed - by the Dutch Admiral, fore-. bodes the decline of heroism and devotion to the ser vice in. Naval Officers, and the ultimate downfall of the Navy, because promotion is not indiscriminately given to all ! ! Because, forsooth, a Mr. JOHN BRADLEY and a Mr. Jo N DENNIS were 'not made Lieutenants so soon as Mr. Horilkm, Mr. BitotreitioN, or Mr. TIIOMPSON ! ! Now, we beg, to remark, iii answer to the prediction of this profoun - d:Writer, that the cause to which, perhaps more than to any other, the brilliant exploits of the British Navy, and theindividual gallantry of persons, are to be attributed, isto be found in that sys tem of promOtion, coeval with the Navy itself, which being untrammelled by the strict rules of a seniority rotation throws open to all the door of promotion, whereby the strongest incentive to, and best reward of, meritorious conduct, are alike offered to the, highest and the lowest. And it requires no power of divinc , into futurity to foretell, that if .this principle should be destroyed, there will, then, indeed, soon be an end of that daring and irresistible spirit which .has covered the Navy of England with immortal fame. If promotion in .the Navy had been regulated by seniority alone, our NELSONS and St. VINCENT 8, would, have been only on a par with all ttie drones of the Service, and the energies of their nature would have been lost to their Country in the subordinate ranks of Lieutenants or Commanders, because some Mr. This or That, of whom no onoever.heard, had served longer than they had, and therefore must be pro moted 'first I I That the present syStem is faultless we do not assert, —but its advantages are so paramount that no reason able man can maintain that they . do not manifestly counterbalance any evils which may be inseparable from it : and if any abuse in the administration of the system has existed, it is not an argument against the system, though it m a y b e against those who have been guilty of the abuse. It is therefore as to the claims of the persons to whom promotion has been given, that the enquiry ought to be directed. Upon this point we apprehend that the return called for by Parliament does not give information sufficient to enable any one to form an (pillion, much less to draw odious comparisons between the merits of 'Officers, or to sanction the gross observations which the Morn -ing Paper in question has made. , - The bare statement that one man entered- the service some years before another who was promoted on the same day, proves nothing. The one may have been, for an interval of years out of the service, or the other may have claims which, if stated, would be admitted as well entitling him to advancem e nt ; while others possess h ere dit ar y claims on the NavY as the Sons of men whO had at tained high rank in it, and had fought and bled in its' cause ; and whose very names, while they shed a lustre on the. service, are guarantees ,of their being worthy of holding rank in it. The writer of the articles referred to, is evidently not well Acquainted with the Naval Service and its details---nor with the liberal extent to which promo tiUn has been giv e n to ; and it would have been more creditable to him if he had confined hiSob servations to the display of his ignorance of the uniform of the Navy (which he has also attacked), instead of assailing by name, Officers' of whose services he knows nothing, and whose merits, there-can be no doubt, have well deserved the promotion which they haVe obtained . from a discerning Board of Admiralty. - THE FUNDS. CITY, Twelve al Clock. Consols opened this morning at the price they left off yesterday, 79il ; soon after they became, buyers, at 79, when a re-action took place, 'and they were done again at 79. The business doing has not been to any great extent. In the Foreign Market little doing :—Old Spangh, 7i to 8 ; Mexican, 66,f ; Colombian, 41k . ; Peruvian, 28 to 29 ; Russian, 78k; Brazil, 55 ; Greek Bonds, 15 to 16 ; New Scrip, prem.; Exchequer Bills, 11 prem. Consols 79ii this moment. One n' Clock. The Express. from Paris with the accounts of negociations being broken off at St. Petersburgh, and the warlike appearance against the Turks, caused Consols to decline, which were in the earlier par:t of the morning at 79f, are now at 79i, with a sickly market. Yew Scrip, which was done this afternoon at lk prem., is at present prem. A good deal of busi ness has been done. 'LATEST - ACCOUNTS FROM GREECE.—A letter from Trieste of the Bth of April, states they have re ceived accounts from Corfu of the 25th, and from Zante of the .26th March, stating that Missolonghi continues to hold out, and had repulsed .all the attacks of Ibrahim Puha. Two e Clock. The Consols Market remains steady at 79i, with scarce any thing doing. The opinions are various concerning the news from Frankfort. The knowing ones at the Stock Exchange do not attach much credit to it, and suppose it to be a Frankfort Stock Jobbing concern. In the Foreign Market Shares are dormant, and in other Foreign Securities nothing doing.

Letters from leek Neal of the 13th Dec. give a distressing se count of disasters that have befallen the Qd Grenadiers, whose march from Chittagong we noticed some days ego. It will be remembered that this division left Chittagong on the 15th ult. with a levy of recruits for the 26th, 42d, 49th, and 62d N. I, consisting of nearly 800 men. On reaching Cox's Bazaar, the order for the recruits not to proceed arrived, their corps in Arra can hating been relieved. The Officer in command having ra ceived as order to proceed by the new-road, as it is called, or the road explored some time ago by the late Captain Ferguson. This was pronounced by a Committee of Survey to be impracticable— The flat-bottomed boats arrived for the conveyance of the troops by water. These boats arrived on the sth inst., and on the 12th the Grenadiers were 12 miles below Teek Naaf;. they had en countered extremely had weather, the sea tweaking over the boats and drenching the troops thoroughly. One boat, having Captain Pringle with half his company on board, was wrecked on a desert island, where he was soon after joined by Captain Lane, with a few of his company. At the date of our letters the fate of the company had not been exactly ascertained, nor the damage done by the gale to the boats. The new-road turns out to be no road at all, or at least in •its present state deserving only the name of a track, and goes over mountains, winding in some places,itis said, to the height of 5,000 feet. It was by this road that Gardner's horse was sent from Arracan : one of the troopers came into Chit tagong on the lath inst. and reports the horse at a stand still, 170 miles from Chittagong. Provisions and assistance have been sent off to them. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, accompanied by the •2arinet4s Feodore, MnoUred Mr. Mathews's Invitations, at the English Opera House, with their presence, last night, and ap peared highly amused.

The Royal Duke subtequently pro ceeded to his temporary residence in Charles-street, Berkeley iquare, About four o'clock in the afternoon his Royal Highness proceeded in his carriage and four to pay a visit to the Princess Augusta; and, efterwaTds, accompanied by his Duchess, returned to Bushy. The Duchess of Clarence, the Duchess of Kent, the Duchess of Gloneester, the Duke of Sussex, and the Princess Frodore, visited the Princess Augusta yesterday. Sir Charles: and Miss Flower gave an elegant dinner, on Mon day last to the Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury, the Dellinger Marchioness of. Salisbury, Lord Kenyon, General Sir J. Doyle, the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress, Mr., Mrs., and Miss Rothschild ; Mr. Combe, Mr. A. W. Robarts, M.P., Mr. Dela- j field, Mr. Ileygate, M.P., Mrs. Heygete, and a select party. GRAND DRAMATIC FETE. BATU, Aran'. 20.—Yesterday evening a Grand Dramatic Fete and Fancy Ball was given at our Theatre, in honour of his Ma • JESTY'S Birth-day. Those who are located at a distance have no conception of the splendour and elegance of these entertainments, which have now become frequent in Bath. On the present occa sion, the pit of the Theatre was covered over and made level with the stage, in order to afford full scope fin. the " mazy dance."' The front of the boxes was ornamented with elegant festoons, and a superb chandelier, consisting of many hundred variegated lamps, depended from the ceiling. At the back of the stage were sevea arches, filled up with elegant blue drapery, the centre one being ornamented with a crown, and the whole with emblems of Love, Music, and War. Behind these arches the banquet was placed. The play selected for the evening's entertainment was Three Weeks after Marriage, which was performed by a portion of the regular company of comedians. After the 'play, a very clever and witty Epilogue, written by T. H. BAYLV, Esq., was apoken by that gentleman with infinite point and humour. The dance then commenced, when the number and variety of the characters imparted a fairy enchantment to the scene. Well might Anstey exclaim— " I've read how the Godesses meet all above, And throng the immortal assemblies of Jove ; When, joined with the Graces, fair Venus appears, Ambrosial sweet odours perfume, all the spheres; But the Goddess of Love, and the Graces, and all, Must yield to the beauties l've seven at the ball; For Joy never felt such a tug at his heart— Such a heat as these charming sweet creatures impart: In short there is something in very fine women, When they meet altogether, that's quite overcoming." The dance was kept up till a very late hour, when the company separated. Among the more distinguslaed persons present were-- Sir David Gould, G.C.8., Sir W. Keir Grant, Sir Lewin P. Glyn, Viscountess Duncan, Lady Glyn, Lady Kier Grant, Mrs. Admiral Western, ftc. ELOPRMENT.......Au elopement took place here a few days ago, which has caused some conversation, A young tradesman paid his addresses to the daughter of a neighbour, but the father ob jected to the match. Inconsequence, it was settled by the lovers that the young lady should set out privately for London, accom panied by her maid, and that her lover should follow after and marry her. The lady did so; but when her father found that his daughter was gone, he went to her intended husband, and threatened him with vengeance if he did not confew whither she bad fled. The ardent lover found himself somewhat cooled by this peremptory order, and confessed where the object of his choice was sojourning, viz., at the Swan-with-two-Necks. Th e enrage d Father immediately procured a poet chaise and set out for town, where, on his arrival, he found that his slaughter had taken a private lodging. After considerable difficulty, however, he di covered her—brought her baclrto Bath, and it is now his inten tion to place hex without the reach of her constant swain. W e allude with great regret to an occurrence at Potts mouth, which has led to the committal of an Officer there; and we should not do so, were not the circum stances publicly spoken of. We shall, however, ab stain from any observations in the, present stage of the matter, and we cannot too earnestly recommend the same course to our brother Journalists. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Our letters from the ports are again destitute of intelligence, and, from the contitmance of easterly winds, uo foreign arrivals have taken place. The Dutch sloop of war Hells, Capt.N. filayter, arrived off Dover yesterday morning from Flushing, and proceeded with a fair wind down Channel, bound to Smyrna. , • Our Pymouth letter mentions, that Gen, &spylton, the Chair man of the Victualling Board, and Commissioner Edgerombe, at tended by 111 r.
